Since it may be hard to find info about thread sizes etc. I will post my findings here.
I have mounted a SRO without plate on my X5 Legion. According to some advice I found here at the forum it should be possible to avoid the empty case to hit the glass.
I did not succeed in avoiding that, even though I switched recoil spring, so I manufactured a homemade shroud from a piece of plastic from a concrete bucket.
Having my shroud also protects the glass from powder gases and dirt.
In the processing of mounting my SRO I had to find out the following:
1. To remove the iron sight, I needed a 3/32 allen key.
2. To mount the SRO I needed screws 6-40 15/32 screws with T10 heads, and a T10 torx key.
3. According to the SRO manual the SRO should be mounted with a torque of 1.7 Nm. I used 1.7 Nm.
4. I used a Dewalt T10 bit which looked like a spiral after applying a low torque at under 2 Nm, so choose your bit wisely. I succeded when I switched to a Bacho bit.
Some bonus info:
To remove the magwell I needed a 5/64 allen key. By the way, my screwhead was damaged from factory, so be careful.
A new Sig 17 round mag will not fit with the magwell attached, but fits well when magwell is removed, see attached pic.
I epoxy bedded the mount to get rid of the gap in front and back of the sight. I only put JB Weld in the gap, not at the bottom of the mounting surface.
I roughly followed (425) Rifle Scope Base Bedding Part 1 - Gun Maintenance - YouTube
But since the geometry is a bitt different here, I did it in 2 steps. First back, then front. Also I waited for curing 8 hours before I removed the SRO.
I used car polish or masking tape on all surfaces I did not want the JB Weld to stick on.
The pictures are from before epoxy bedding, but a picture after bedding is not to exciting to look at. Hard to see any visual difference.
